110 Eleven (1/2)

It was almost sunset when Abi sent Kelly off because Kelly's parents called her to come over to their house.

Once Abi returned inside the house, she walked towards Alex, who was sitting by the fireplace.

She sat right next to him and leaned her head on his shoulder.

”Alex, you ended up not fulfilling any wishes of mine for eleven days,” she told him when suddenly, he gently pulled her head down and made her lie down on him, using his lap as her pillow. Abi smiled and she gladly positioned herself as she looked up at him.

The man stared down into her eyes.

”Eleven requests aren't that hard to fulfill. What are your requests? Tell me and we can start but I will be choosing which request I will fulfill first because you are still injured. Who knows, you might ask me to help you fish for tuna in the Pacific Ocean,” he sternly told her with a straight face and Abi's mouth parted before she burst out and chuckled.

”Fishing for tuna? That sounds fun.” She grinned and it was Alex's turn to be speechless. At that moment, Abi immediately took advantage of his silence and she cupped her hands and blinked cutely at him, wanting to tease him again. ”Alex, will you marry me?” she suddenly added and the already speechless man seemed to have completely lost his tongue.

He simply stared at her in disbelief before he bit his lips and pinch the skin between his brows.

Abi felt like smiling at seeing his reaction. She really found this cold glacier a little cute when he was like this.

However, the feast didn't last for more than a few seconds because the man suddenly pinched her cheeks. ”Little fruit, stop messing around or I will not fulfill any of your wishes today,” he threatened and Abi could only purse her lips and obey.

”Okay, okay… I'll tell you now.”

Abigail was silent for a while. She hadn't scanned her wishlist for days now but they were still clear in her memory. She saw her list as if it was right in front of her with only three ticks next to the three items that had been fulfilled. So now that Alex was going to fulfill eleven of those as he promised, she was very excited.

The excitement in her heart was overflowing that she totally forgot about the fact that she was injured.

”Okay, number 1,” she said as she gestured number 1 with her pinky finger. ”I want to play laser tag with you.”

Alex's lips parted again in disbelief. Laser tag? What the hell! That was something that had never, ever, crossed his mind!

”Rejected… next,” he replied and Abi pursed her lips. But then, the girl immediately switched gears.

”Ride a tandem bicycle with me.” She said and Alex closed his eyes.

”Abigail… why are these things even on your list?”

”What's wrong with them? They look quite fun and romantic and something that couples do.”

”Rejected. Next.”

Abi was about to complain but she stopped herself. After all, she couldn't afford to make him grumpy because then he might renege on his offer.

”Let's watch the sunset and sunrise in one day.”

”Approved. Next.”

Finally, one had been approved. Abi's face immediately brightened as soon as he agreed.

”Let's visit a haunted house,” was the next request and Alex felt his mouth open and shut as he stared down at her. However, no words came out of it. It was obvious he was utterly speechless again by her requests.
